Here is the stem mount / ram ball mount I used on my FJR. I purchased the entire mount but found that it transmitted to much vibration for camcorders and harddrive gps units. If you could contact techmount and just purchase the stem nut and then tap it for a 1/4 by 20 and then use a little blue...

I am using the Iway 500c and have had no problems with it. It has by far the largest most easy to read and use touchscreen. That along with the fact that it is waterproof and will hold 10 gigabytes of music makes it the choice for me. My second choice would be the new hand held Magellan...

Regarding the stator output on the FJR am I correct that it puts out 490 watts. And if this is the case what is left after 130 watts for the high beams and the fuel pump etc that the bike requires. I have used 110 watts worth of aux lighting in the past for long durations without any problem. I...

I just had my 04 fixed. They are now diagnosing the problem by viewing the valve stems through the open exhaust port. If leakage is observed then Yamaha will authorize the fix. The intake valves have never caused a problem as far as I know. For a time it appeared that Yamaha would replace the...

I came up with a new mount for my Iway 500C. I was looking for the least vibration and the most stability. I used the base from the sportbikecam.com camera mount and just attached a 1 inch ram ball with a 1/4 by 20 thread pitch into one of the existing holes tapped into the mount. This mount...

I just installed a set of Hella ff50 driving lights. They make both a fog and driving light in this model. These cost me 69.00 to my door from Autoanything .com. They work great, I see no reason to spend more.

The mount I was using was a 1 inch ram ball with a 1/4 x 20 thread tapped into the original hole that came with steering head nut that came with a stem mount I had. I will be switching to a much better setup. I have purchased just the bracket that attaches tot he gas cap ring from...

Thanks all for the info. I will provide a copy of ht TSI and the location in the service manual where the head bolts are discussed. I couldn't find any dealerships in the Phoenix area that had worked on tickers. Desert Motorsports seemed to be as good a choice as any. They had not had a ticker...

Can anyone tell me where I could find documentation on the one use nature of the FJR Head Bolts. Desert Motorsports in Scottsdale will be fixing my 04 ticker, but are insisting that the head bolts can be reused. I would appreciate any help Motordog1
